Trello comments variable for use in email?

[Deano]

Hi all - is there a way to insert the comments from a card in a report created by butler? I can't seem to find the right variable?

Ta!

@Esme Crutchley ? ;)

@Deano @Esme Crutchley nope this would need a "for each comment" construct which sadly died with the Butler Bot and didn't make it through to New Butler.

@Ludo had a creative solution to this recently:

But if you wanted to get all the comments into the report you'd need to go via the API directly, this Trellinator function would do it:

That's sad to hear the feature has gone.

Thanks for your help. :)

Oooooo, good question, not a clue (I don't use reports)!

Let me tag in @Iain Dooley do you use reports?
